Marie Curie is renowned for her remarkable achievements and discoveries as a scientist. The fact that she's a female scientist may not be that controversial in our time, but that wasn't the case back in the 1800s when women were expected to marry, cook, and raise children. Maire set out on a road that was completely uncharted for women. Not only did she prove that women can do everything that men can, but she was also able to surpass many of her male colleagues and the male scientists of her era. Despite the prejudice she faced every step of the way, Marie Curie was set on pursuing her passion for science and never crumbled under pressure.
